How to analyze a hiperbola

In this question we must analyze the general equation of a hyperbola  and derive all the required information by algebraic and graphic means. All this information is derived from the standard equation of the hyperbola, which is presented below:

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1[/tex]   (1)

Where:

  • a - Horizontal axis distance
  • b - Vertical axis distance
  • h, k - Coordinates of the center of the hyperbola.

The foci are located at the following two points: [tex]F_{1} (x, y) = (h - c, k)[/tex], [tex]F_{2} (x,y) = (h + c, k)[/tex].

Where [tex]c = \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}[/tex].

And the asymptotes of the hyperbola are described by the following formulas:

y₁ = b · (x - h)  / a + k   (2)

y₂ = - b · (x - h) / a + k   (3)

a) We transform the general equation into its standard form:

  1. 4 · x² + 8 · x - 9 · y² - 36 · y - 68 = 0    Given
  2. (2 · x)² + 4 · (2 · x) - (3 · y)² - 12 · (3 · y) - 68 = 0   Definition of power/Associative and commutative properties/Definition of multiplication
  3. [(2 · x)²+ 2 · 2 · (2 · x) + 4] - [(3 · y)² + 2 · 6 · (3 · y) + 36] + 36 - 68 - 4 = 0   Compatiblity with addition/Definition of multiplication/Commutative and associative properties/(-1) · a = - a
  4. (2 · x + 2)² - (3 · y + 6)² - 36 = 0   Perfect square trinomial/Definition of addition
  5. 4 · (x + 1)² - 9 · (y + 2)² = 36   Compatibility with addition/Existence of additive inverse/Modulative property
  6. [tex]\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{3^{2}}-\frac{(y+2)^{2}}{2^{2}} = 1[/tex]   Definition of power/Compatibility with multiplication/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Result

The standard equation of the hiperbola is [tex]\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{3^{2}}-\frac{(y+2)^{2}}{2^{2}} = 1[/tex]. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

b) From the result found in a) we conclude that the center of the hyperbola is (h, k) = (-1, -2).

c) The foci of the hyperbola are located at the following two points:

[tex]c = \sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2}}[/tex]  

[tex]c = \sqrt{13}[/tex]

F₁ (x, y) = (-1 - √13, -2), F₂ (x, y) = (-1 + √13, -2)

The foci of the hyperbola are F₁ (x, y) = (-1 - √13, -2) and F₂ (x, y) = (-1 + √13, -2). [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

d) And the asymptotes of the hyperbola are presented below:

y₁ = 2 · x / 3   (2)

y₂ = - 2 · x / 3   (3)

The asymptotes of the hyperbola are y₁ = 2 · (x + 1) / 3 - 2 and y₂ = - 2 · (x + 1) / 3 - 2. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

e) The graph of the hyperbola and all its characteristics are presented by means of graphing tool. The result is presented in the image attached below.
